Is reset and restore the same?
I need to reset my phone and I made an appointment at the Genius bar. This has happened before with my other iphone. My phone is saying that I don't have enough space in my icloud but I know that it does. It is saying that because my phone got corrupted from downloading apps on/off wifi. I just want to reset myself really.
No, a reset and restore are not the same.
A reset is nothing more than pressing and holding the home and power buttons for approximately 15 seconds until the white Apple logo appears. No data is affect.
A restore is done either via iTunes or iCloud to a previous backup or as new. Data can and will be destroyed depending on the option selected.
Neither of which has anything to do with space availabe in iCloud.
Manage space in iCould in iCoud, either via the website or directly on the device.

Hi, I getting a "playback error message" on youtube App. I tried to reinstall the app and to reset and restore the device and all these things didn't help.can you please help me
That's a peculiar one to get in the context of a QuickTime uninstall.
Which particular version of QuickTime for Windows are you currently running? (7.7.5, 7.7.4, something earlier?) -
I recently bought an iPod Touch from the US, when I was living there. I am now in India, and my iPod seems to be frozen -- the slider won't slide. So far, I've updated my iTunes and reset and restored the Touch. The problem with the simple solution: there's no Genius bar in India.
Any idea what I can do?Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode

- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- Try on another computer
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

My phone has stuck on a zoom position meaning I cannot use any of the functions. I have tried resetting but the problem reoccurs. I tried restore but although it would go back to normal as soon as I put on the back up files it goes back to the problem.
How can I get into the settings?Double Tap the Screen with 3 Fingers...
Then go to Settings > General > Accessibility and make sure Zoom is turned Off. -
The iPad mute button continues to pop up over and over. If I turn the volume up, I can watch it decrease just as fast. The icon stays. I have reset the iPad twice, and have reset it back to manufacturer settings as well. The problem continues despite my efforts.....any other suggestions? It is completely upgraded to the newest iOS version. And I was not having trouble before this upgrade.
If I had it in a case or had my finger on the switch these would solve the issue. Or, if the mute bell was only coming on when the volume button was pressed, how ever, it is coming on at random times and will go away for a few minutes if I hit the home button, but then reappears. This seems to be a problem experienced by a lot of iPad users so I have trouble thinking it is a bad switch.

lost application
Applications (and music, videos, etc) are not part of the backup, as the assumtion is that you safely store them on your computer and/or iTunes. If that's the case, just selectem in iTunes for syncing. If not, you can re-download all purchases fromm iTunes Store> Quick Links> Purchased.

Hi everyone,
I just have my new Ipad4 last January 27, I noticed that while downloading a certain Apps in App Store then scrolling to look for more application, my screen would flicker like flashing or something blinking on it. I don't know what happened, why is it like that? Is it somewhat connected with hardware problem or does Ios 6 version still have a bug? I've tried using safari and other video downloader like vdownloader and I tried searching in youtube, still the same dilemma, it flicker also while browsing some video. Is it hardware problem? I already reset and restore my IPAD thou its a new one still the same dilemma happened again. What should I do? It was a gift for me and I'm really worried about it. Hope you could help me regarding it. Thank you so much.Not normal. Take it to an Apple Store for evaluation.

I can't make or receive calls in my iPhone 5(just bought second hand and unlocked), but I am able to use 3G network. If I use the same SIM card in other phone it works fine. I have tried network resetting and restore.
I bought this cheap from an unknown persons. I have checked it is not in blacklist. And unlocked by apple.Those are all carrier features, so contact your cell phone provider.

Hi,
I have an Iphone 3G.
Its 9 months old mobile and it has OS 4.2 in it.
When I am accessing wi-fi, suddenly the display went-off and then I was not able to start my phone again.
Later I tried to restore and update the Iphone using Itunes.
I have updated the Itunes.
Using hard-reset, I tried to restore the OS and did the same successfully.
After installing the same over my Iphone 3G, I didnt recieved any intimation for completion of the process, besides, I was not able to start the mobile even I have reset the OS.
when I push the wake-up button, I am able to see the Apple Logo and after some time, it goes off and remains idle with no more display.
I tried to reset OS twice, it remained the same.
Can any one help me here with this issue.
I am not even able to figure-out the cause of the problem.
Thanks in advance.

"My ipod is displaying apple logo and wont start up, hard reset leaves it the same, disc mode works but iTunes doesn't "see" it even if the computer does."
It worked two days ago fine, for two years, until I installed this newest iTunes update, then for one day it kept on freezing and going to apple logo screen mode, then today it only goes to that screen and wont start up at all.
I've tried the hold down two buttons hard reset, that doesn't help. I've tried disc mode... but iTunes doesn't "see" it even if the computer does.
This is a pristine ipod, never exposed to adverse conditions, never dropped, never wet, and it worked perfectly two days ago.
Can I factory reset it somehow? (considering itunes can't "see" it)
[Ipod classic 160gb less than two years old.]Looks like I might have found the solution on a youtube comment:
R.O:
"Plug into you laptop first, whichever set up you use that has iTunes, i know it won't read it, don't even open iTunes as of yet. Do the typical reboot "Menu +Center button at the same time" and hold it, DONT LET IT GO like we were told, when the apple pops up.. KEEP HOLDING IT it will make a new ding sound I've never heard before. and since its hooked to you laptop already an error message pops up and says apple will need to download something to repair your iPod. I when u see that that when i let reboot buttons go. hit ok on the laptop something downloads for like 20 seconds then the iTunes icon hops around when you open it it has a screen with an iPod classic on it and says "Software version blah blah, iTunes will check for an update on such n such date" AND FINALLY there's a "Restore" button. click that and you will be back to square one with your iPod. Renaming , adding all the music on it, but it will work again, finally. "
I had to do it twice, because my mac froze the first time, but its recognized it now and is downloading the software as we speak...
Now I've clicked the restore button and it's restoring... I'll post again if its a success, otherwise assume failure. -

I'm sure this is probably covered in here somewhere but I can't find it, after an hour of searching I have already done everything I see suggested!
I'm stuck on the Apple booting screen on my 3gs with the spinning wheel, I've tried resetting and restored to earlier versions and to blank but everything ends the same.
Please help me!Well if you are mechanically inclined you can try removing the battery and then reinserting it. There are a couple of good videos on youtube--milliamp has one---. You will need a .00 phillips screwdriver and a tool to remove the cables. I just replaced my batter and I can say that the difficulty level is about a 5 out of 10.
